SSL encrypts your order information to avoid the decoding of that information by anyone other than Bungalow Bob's Pet Designs, LLC or their credit card processing company. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window when entering billing information. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."
